मैं आज जो कुछ भी हूँ, उसके लिए थिएटर (रंगमंच) का आभारी हूँ। लेकिन ऐसा नहीं है कि थिएटर मेरा पहला प्यार है। मैं सिनेमा से भी उतना ही जुड़ा हुआ हूँ, जो वास्तव में थिएटर की ही संतान है, क्योंकि यह उससे बहुत कुछ उधार लेता है।

I am grateful to theatre for making me what I am today. But it's not like theatre is my first love. I am equally attached to cinema, which is, actually, a child of theatre, since it borrows heavily from it.

थैटर में, आपको पहले तीन मिनट में ही अपने दर्शकों से जुड़ना होता है। यदि आप ऐसा नहीं करते हैं, तो आप जानते हैं कि आपने लगभग उन्हें खो दिया है।

In theatre, you've got to make the connect with your audience in the first three minutes. If you haven't, you know you've almost lost them.

हमारे पास ऐसे फिल्म निर्माता हैं जो एक जिम्मेदारी के साथ फिल्में बनाते हैं और श्याम बेनेगल, गोविंद निहलानी, प्रकाश झा की तरह सिनेमा को गंभीरता से लेते हैं। लेकिन अब ये लोग भी स्टार्स को साथ लेते हैं। स्टार्स के बिना वे काम नहीं कर सकते।

हेलन मिररेन से मिलना एक बेहद शानदार अनुभव था। मैंने अपने मन में पहले से ही सोच रखा था कि जब हमारी मुलाकात होगी तो मैं उनका स्वागत कैसे करूँगा। लेकिन हमारा मिलना बड़ा दिलचस्प था क्योंकि मैं उन्हें पहचान ही नहीं पाया!

Meeting Helen Mirren was a fabulous experience. I had played it out in my mind, how I should greet her when we would be introduced. But the way we met was funny because I just didn't recognise her!

सच तो यह है कि मुझे मुंबई अब कम ही भाती है। मेरा बेटा मुझसे कहता है, 'पापा, चलिए ना गाड़ी से कहीं घूमने चलते हैं,' और मैं उससे कहता हूँ, 'इस शहर में गाड़ी चलाने का क्या मज़ा?' आप मीलों लंबे ट्रैफिक जाम में फँस जाते हैं और अपने ही वाहन के भीतर उस पागल कर देने वाले शोरगुल के बीच कैद होकर रह जाते हैं।

The fact is I like Mumbai less and less. My son says, 'Baba, let's go for a drive', and I tell him, 'Where's the fun of a drive in this place?' You get caught in a million traffic jams, and you spend time cooped in your car with all that mad cacophony around you.
